There is "no shit Sherlock" so there should be "nice try Watson"
I-I'm sorry but I can't stop thinking about this
Say hi to Tarlok :-)
I finally got to draw this big guy. In my story he is pretty important, even if it doesn´t look like that. But first thing first.
Tarlok is how Arian named his. It´s not name of animal species. And as Arian said, they are friends. Tarlok doesn´t understand what anybody is saying, but he can feel what is going on.
He is about two meters tall and long carnivore. Most of his meal is made by birds and small mammals. He lives in caves where he digs tunnels. He has also great orientation sense. He never get lost in his tunnels and some of them are dead ends. Because he lives in dark caverns, his sight is really poor and he can´t see well. He relies a lot on his olfaction and hearing.
He lives a solitary life, but when he finds a friend, he is very loyal to him. His life is usually 40 years long. He is mostly calm and passive, but if he is in danger or angry, he can kill you with one swipe with his paw. His strenght and speed are incredible. His huge tail helps him to hold balance when he is running or standing on his back legs.
This is just sooooo perfect XD It would be sin not to reblog it....
A Vine compilation (part 1?)
Since Vine is going to be killed, I needed to salvage some of these timeless masterpieces.
After a week I am back :) This week was the school pretty hectic so I am sorry for possible mistakes :-p
———————————————————————————
Arian paled in horror. There was another scream. Tarlok froze and sniffed. Then he turned and disappeared into in the cave.
„We need to know what is happening there.“ He said hastily. He went to the narrow path they had come. Eunis followed him.
“We can´t go this way.” he said. “It would take a long time, and we could fall. We must find another way.”
”But there is no another way out” Eunis moaned. “We're trapped.”
“Not really.” he added hopefully. “Many times I saw Tarlok in the woods. He was hunting birds there. So he first had to get down. And he would never get there by this one very narrow path, so ...”
“... there must be some other way for him in the cave.” she finished his sentence.
“Exactly.” he said enthusiastically.
“But we will have to find it first.” she said despondently.
“Don´t worry. I´m sure that Tarlok will help.” he told her. But when he looked back, he saw that Tarlok had disappeared in the cave. Eunis and Arian looked at each other and ran into the cave. It was a dark and damp. From somewhere in the distance, a cool breeze was blowing. They went straight along the wall. Every now and then they tripped over some rock. Once their eyes adjust to the darkness, they saw another three entrances into the dark tunnels.
“Cool. And where to now?” she sighed.
“Tarlok! Hey Tarlok! Help us find the way out!” called Arian. His voice echoed eerily. Then silence. From one of the tunnels could be heard thundering footsteps. After a moment Tarlok emerged from the middle tunnel. He nodded to them to follow him, he turned and went back through the tunnel. Eunis and Arian ran after him. They had to walk fast to keep up with his long strides. The tunnel was still darker and darker and began to meander. There were also a few crossroads. If they went just themselves, they would get lost, but Tarlok knew exactly where is he going and where to go. The air was heavy and humid with an admixture of mould. They thought that they really got lost when he turned into the tunnel at the end of which they saw the long sought light. They had to cover their eyes to avoid blindness. Outside, they could finally breathe fresh air.
„Thanks Tarlok.” she said appreciatively and patted his side. Moments of enthusiasm did not last long. Again the desperate cries and calls for help.
“We need to hurry to the village.” Eunis suggested. “But where are we?” she asked, looking around. Arian also looked around.
“We are on the edge of the Cornwood forest.” he said.
“But that´s so far.” Eunis moaned. “We won´t get there before sunset. And that's probably too late. You do know any abbreviation or something, right?” she asked with hope, but also with a hint of desperation in his voice. Arian shook his head. Eunis felt helpless. And she hated this feeling. A mixture of helplessness and fear. Arian was scared too. Although he didn´t show it and probably he wouldn´t admit it. But in his eyes was confusion and fear. His thoughts were interrupted by Tarlok. He poked him with his nose, almost making him fall. Then he lay down beside them. Eunis had to smile. How could she not think of it before?
“I think that he offers us a lift.”
Arian also couldn´t help but smile too and hugged him around the neck. So they climbed on his back and clutched his long fur. Tarlok stood up and began to run. They had to hold really tight so they won´t fall. On how he is large, he is incredibly fast. And so they soon found themselves on the edge of the village.
“Here you can stop” Arian told him. Tarlok obediently slowed down to a complete stop. He lay down for them to be able to dismount. Eunis scratched him behind the ears in thanks and Arian patted his neck.
“You'd better go home now, buddy. They could get frighten by you as Eunis here, but this time it might not end well.” He said worried. Tarlok licked both with his long tongue. He got up and ran home. Eunis listened. Silence. No screaming or other sounds. Arian was confused. He crouched down and walked toward the village. Eunis followed him. Then he quietly hid behind a bush, which grew by one of the houses. Pushing a few leaves away for a better view. The sight was horrible. Lots of houses were demolished, all over the ground were barrels, containers and various other things. But they didn´t see anyone.
“We are late.” Arian whispered and mesmerized staring at the mess. Eunis felt her tears roll down her cheeks. Their home was destroyed, their friends and family might be dead. Who could do such a thing? Eunis ran out from behind the bushes into the middle of the village. Watery eyes helplessly looking around to see if see could catch sight of anyone. Not a soul.
“Hello! Is anybody here? Answer me!” she cried desperately, her voice shaking. No answer. Arian walked after her and put his arm around her shoulders. Eunis leaned into him and cried. Arian returned her the hug. He couldn´t understand why their village was attacked. It was an ordinary village. It wasn´t rich in silver, gold or anything else. So... why? From the gloomy thoughts he was interrupted by a soft voice. Eunis probably also heard it, because he started to look around.
„Did you hear that?” she asked, wiping her eyes. Arian released her and nodded.
“Hello?!” As answer was a low moan. “Where are you?” Again a faint sound. It was coming from somewhere on the other side of the village. So they went to the place where they heard the call. They reached the half destroyed house, which belonged blacksmiths Sankore. All sorts of tools were lying on the ground. Embers from the fire were strewn across the floor, make it black-stained. In the left rear corner of the room they saw a hand that pounded the ground in an attempt to call for help. The rest of him was littered with debris. They began to clear away blocks of stone and wooden beams that once formed the walls and roof. It gave them a lot of work. The stones were heavy and they had to be careful not to make the stones to fall on him. After a long effort finally pulled the poor guy.
“You okay?” Eunis asked and examined the extent of his injuries. His face was all grimy from soot, clothes were tattered and stained with blood. He was rubbing his left arm gently.
“It will be fine. It just hurts a little.” He hissed when she touched the arm.
“Sankore? I almost didn´t recognize you.” she said in surprise and studied him closely. Only now she noticed his sharp features of his face and his usual cheerful, light green eyes were now sad and empty. His eyes confusedly flitted around the room, which previously was his home.
“What happened here?” Arian asked and paced around a former smithy. It was almost dark, but he noticed odd tracks that were left by someone on the soot-stained floor. Sankore glanced around the ruins of the village.
„We were attacked.” His voice trembled. He stared straight ahead. His expression was blank.
“But by whom? The raiders from south?“ Arian asked. Sankore shook his head.
“It wasn´t them. We know their style and weapons. We could beat them. Moreover they are slow. But they... they were fast, nimble and strong. They were like shadows. They had about two meters, long tail with sharp thorns, mouth full of teeth, deadly weapons and impenetrable armor. Their dark scaly skin blend in with the forest. They couldn´t be stopped. One of them jumped on me and knocked me back. I can still see those dark yellow eyes staring at me hungrily. Fortunately, I managed to shake him off and get into the house. Then they demolished it.”
Eunis was watching at him in awe. She couldn´t imagine such horror. Arian broke the silence.
“What did they want? We don´t even know them, so what was their reason?” he asked.
“Who knows.” Sankore said simply.
“Where are the others” Eunis remembered.
“Most managed to escape into the woods and hide there. But some were captured and taken away. We can only imagine what they did with them.” Suddenly Sankore twisted in a painful spasm and groaned quietly.
“Arian, try to find a house of Paran. As a healer he should have some ointments. Bring them to me, please.” she said. Arian nodded and ran across the village.
“It will be fine. I'm fine.” Sankore was persuading her.
“You have extensive injuries. And I'm not talking about those inside. I'm surprised you're still alive.”
”Well, you know. Blacksmiths like I have taken deep root.” He joked.

This is the first part of this story. I decidet to add new chapters every Monday and I hope you´ll enjoy reading it :D
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was beginning of the summer and the forest was waking up to a beautiful and sunny day. Birds were singing, roes were jumping on glades and elves were preparing for celebration. This celebration takes place once in twenty years. That´s why everyone pays it a lot of attention. Well… everyone except Eunis. She has no idea what they were preparing. She asked almost everyone. But they said her to don´t interrupt.
“Would someone finally tell me what´s going on?!” No response. She knelt under big old tree. No one bother to even look at her. But then she heard kind voice.
“We are preparing the celebration of the Blue Moon. It will be in few days.” Eunis twitch. There was a young elf. He has short blond hair and emerald green eyes. His smile was honestly kind. He wears short sleeved linen shirt.
He noticed that she twitched and said: “Sorry I don´t want to startle you. My name is Arian.” He also offered her a hand and helps her get up.
“That´s ok. I am Eunis and thank. Everyone is apparently busy. By the way… what is this celebration about?”
“You seem to be new here. I didn´t see you in the village before.”
“Something like that. I live here for ten years but I don´t go out so often so we haven´t met before.”
“Oh… That quite explains it. Never mind… This celebration takes place once in twenty years. That´s when the blue moon shows up on the night sky. Last time it was almost thousand years ago. Most of us know about it just from stories and legends. It is very important. In the middle of glade we build big sacrificial altar. But don´t worry. We don´t sacrifice animals or anything like this. The sacrifice is the hard work we put to the preparation for the celebration. This all is for protection of our forest and village.” he said overly importantly.
“This evening we will practice some dances for the ceremony. These are pretty long and difficult so kids learn them since they are six. Everyone dance. Just some elves plays on instruments. Wanna come?”
“I would love to, really, but nobody teach me how to dance. I think will just stand aside and watch as not to obstruct.” she said sadly.
“I can teach you.” Arian said encouragingly. “I don´t want to brag, but I am perfect dancer and excellent teacher.”
“That would be nice, but you said kids learn them since six… How can I learn it in few days?” she said disbelievingly.
“Trust me… You´ll do great. I bet you can learn them in no time.” Arian said with bright smile.
Arian was right. It wasn´t that hard and he was really good teacher. It doesn´t even began to get dark and Eunis can dance almost half of the first dance.
“See? I told you. Tomorrow you´ll know to dance all of them.”
“You are really amazing. How long it takes you to learn? I suppose about five years. You are certainly the best dancer of all.”
“Firstly, I learned it when I was fourteen, so it´s three years. Secondly, you are probably right. I might be the best.” said Arian proudly and then laughing fell to the ground. He lay down on his back and watched the clouds floating in the sky.
“Look, Eunis. This one looks like deer. Come take a look.” he said pointing somewhere in the sky. She lay beside him.
“Yeah. You are right. It looks proud.” She looked at him attentively. It looks like it wants to tall her something, but it can´t. It was just cloud that slowly began to fade.
“DID YOU SEE THAT?! That deer just winked at me!” she shouted.
“Winked? I don´t think so. It´s just a cloud.” he pointed to the sky.
“Well… was. It´s gone now. Maybe you are tired. We´ve had been dancing almost all day. And it´s getting dark. We probably should be going home. Tomorrow, early in the morning, the altar will be placed on the glade. And it would be shame to miss it.” Arian said and escorted her to the village.
“Thank you for everything. I really enjoyed this day. I can´t wait for tomorrow.”
“Me too. I´ll come to get you. You won´t believe your eyes when you see it. I heard it is breathtaking.” He led her to a crossroads.
“See ya tomorrow, Eunis.”
“Good night, Arian.”
Eunis came home excited. She didn´t even notice the noncomprehending expression of her nanny. Erin had to grab her by the arm.
“Where were you so long?”
Eunis pulled away and said with a smile: “I was preparing for the celebration of the Blue moon.” and went to her room. She untwists her braid and spread her auburn hair on the pillow. She was so tired after that dance that she immediately fell asleep.

Wake up folks new absolute Legend on TikTok
The first thing I´m going to say is that I don´t draw it. I was looking for some bird anatomy and feather pattern and I found this perfect one, but I don´t know who draw it. So I don´t want to steal it, but more like borrow it.
And this is how I exactly imagine the Godlike Armis. The colors are awesome and the decorating feathers are just... AAAAA perfect. Just imagine the light lovely and melodic voice...
There is not much known about this bird. It´s let say something like God's messenger. It´ll become more clear during the story.
It's like a God's pat
You guys just have to trust me on this one and click here okay?
Heya!
My name is Alchemy and I am teenage girl on high school. I study chemistry and I like it. It´s always funny... well... mostly. All those experiments... it is very exciting :D I also love animals ( CATS <3 ) and books. That´s the main reason of this page. I made it so I can share my interest in books and writting. I am working on one pretty long story, but sometimes I write something shorter to ease my mind. And I decided to share my thoughts with all of you :D My language is not english so it will take some time to translate it... sorry for possible mistakes. Hope you understand :-)
Also if you have some interisting stories, I´ll be really glad if you share it with me and others. The world of fantasy is eternal and everyone can be good writer. At least it is really fun to make our own world and watch the fate of main heroes.
So.... what do you say? Are you with me?
Here I would like to share my interest in writing stories and drawing some ilustrations or comics. My original language is not english so.... sorry for mistakes during translations :-) All stories without link are mine. Hope you´ll enjoy :D
